NEWARK, N.J. (WFAN/AP) – The New Jersey Devils announced Tuesday that former defenseman and team captain Scott Stevens will return to the team as an assistant coach.

The 13 time All-Star played 13 seasons with the Devils from 1991 to 2004 and won three Stanley Cup Championships (1995, 2000, and 2003) with the team. Stevens was inducted into the NHL Hall of Fame in 2007. The former captain was the first player to have his jersey retired by the Devils. His No. 4 hangs from the rafters at the Prudential Center, next to Scott Niedermayer (No. 27) and Ken Daneyko (No. 3), also defensemen who joined Stevens in leading New Jersey to three Stanley Cup titles.

Will Stevens help take the Devils back to the Stanley Cup Finals? Sound off in the comments section below…
